Well, at least someone 'proved' what we figured all along. It would've been bad if their research showed something else. Now, let's get onto the something more definitive like what if there's a clot here or there, or if eating wasabi or cold ice cream is a localized effect or might do something harmful or beneficial. Any volunteers? (Seriously, Wikipedia 'says' wasabi has some use as a 'smelling salt-type' vapor that could be used in smoke-detectors for blind people--my question, how to distinguish the smell of smoke and burning plastic from 'smelling salt-type' vapors?)

It's not just neurologists. I knew an ecologist who had a whole research project proving that different plants grew in sunny spots than shady ones. Got grant money for it too. You can't make this stuff up.

Let's help those researchers with another scientific experiment. Which will do more damage, one whack to the back of the skull with a tire iron, or TWO whacks to the back of the skull with a tire iron.
